PRICES TAKE UNEXPECTED JUMP TO 28 CENTS Hogs are selling in the Toronto Stock Yards for per this week the highest price in almost months This unexpected turn of events followed low ering of government floor prices from the 26 to as of Jan The government floor price as many farmers say usually be comes a ceiling price as well and this is explained as the reason tor the heavy marketing of hoes in the last few days of the old year The heavy flow of hogs to the market soon brought about a shortage in the first two weeks of the new yean The shortage resulted In the present unexpected high price Whether this price will be main tained for any length of time or not is difficult to predict A levelling off of prices around the middle of next month is expected by most farmers the unknown factor being the number of sows marketed last fall by farmers who decided that they could not make money on hog prices QUEEN SCOUT AWARDS Garry Bugler Robert Edwards and Donald Jackson patrol leaders of the
